Self test step by step - Vaginal sample (for women)

Recommended method.

Do not empty the water from the sample tube.
Grab the stick in the area furthest from the tip (further out than the breaking mark).
Pull the labia aside and insert the sample stick approximately 5 cm into the vagina.
Let the stick stay inside the vagina for 10 seconds. Rotate the stick 4-5 times while pulling the stick out.
Place the sample stick in the sample tube and break the stick by the breaking mark.
Put the test tube in the transport tube.

Self test step by step - Urine sample (all genders)

Do not empty the water from the sample tube.
Use a plastic cup to collect urine. It is only the first stream of urine that should be used for the sample. Leave only 5-10 ml. of urine in the cup, just enough to cover the bottom of the cup.
Then use the pipette to move the urine from the plastic cup to the sample tube.
Make sure that the level of fluid is between the two lines on the sample tube.
Screw the cap on to the sample tube.
Put the test tube in the transportation tube.

Where do I hand in the test?

When you are finished at the test station you hand in the envelope containing the test in the safe inside the copy room at the Library. Find it with Mazemap.
